TEMECULA: Man arrested after short standoff

A man wanted on a felony warrant was arrested in Temecula after a short standoff with deputies, according to a release Riverside County Sheriffâs Department.

Christopher Lyons, age unknown, of Temecula, was taken into custody on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at a home in the 39000 block of Creative Driver.

Deputies went to the home after receiving a report that Lyons was there. The tip provided a physical description and that the suspect was known to carry a hand gun, according to the report written by Sgt. Andy Woods.

A perimeter was set up around the home. During the investigation, a woman walked out and was detained in the front yard. The suspect ran out a rear sliding door, but spotted deputies and ran back inside, barricading himself. A short standoff followed.

Authorities said Lyons tried to hide in the attic, but the opening was too small. He then walked out the front door and surrendered without incident.
